Colder Than Ice
Grant Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
colder than ice,
vision fixed on the door
colder than ice
now she knows that she's nice
golden hair and deep blue eyes
noone dances her twice
nothing happen so far
No one reach her tonight
before she takes flight
She's colder than ice
How can I get in first
hurt to intice
CHORUS
She's colder than ice
She's colder than ice
COLDER THAN ICE
Suddenly Iwas there
and she's is in his arms
all too close to him
and she feels his charms
couldn't see it no more
could it be I'm loosing for sure
Oh it's breaking me up
'cause I'm the only one
who dares to walk on the ice
No one reach her tonight
before she takes flight
She's colder than ice
How can I get in first
hurt to intice
She's colder than ice
colder than ice
COLDER THAN ICE (x2)
No one reach her tonight
before she takes flight
She's colder than ice
How can I get in first
hurt to intice
She's colder than ice
colder than ice
COLDER THAN ICE
The lyrics to Grant Miller's song Colder Than Ice speak of a woman who is emotionally distant and unapproachable, much like the frozen substance the title refers to. The first verse describes her standing on the dance floor, her gaze fixed on the door with an expression that suggests she is uninterested in those around her. Despite her physical beauty--golden hair and deep blue eyes--no one wants to dance with her a second time, as she emanates an icy aura that makes her unapproachable to most people. The singer is intrigued by her, wondering how he can be the first to get through to her, even if it means he will be hurt in the process.
The second verse reveals that the woman in question does, in fact, allow someone to get close to her--but it is not the singer. He watches as she falls for another man, not understanding what he lacks that the other man possesses. The chorus repeats the notion that this woman is "colder than ice," emphasizing her frigidness as she remains aloof from those around her.
The lyrics can be interpreted in a few different ways, but one possible explanation is that the woman represents emotional unavailability or guardedness. The singer is drawn to her because he sees her as a challenge that he wants to conquer, but he ultimately fails because he cannot penetrate her emotional defenses.
